LOYOLA COLLEGE REVIEW 31 His pencil was striking, resistless and grand, His manners were gentle, complying and bland. CUTHBERT SCOTT. Many pages would be re- quired to do justice to Cuth’s record. His activities cover every phase of student life. In sport he is a skier of great promise, a skillful lacrosse player --- and a member of last year’s Junior Canadian Champion team. Не has much talent for music, is a capable cartoonist and covered himself with fame by his interpretation of Catter- mole, Jr., in “Тһе Private Secretary.” For three years he has been a member of our successful Intercollegiate de- bating team. Excepting the Radio club, there is not an important society in the college of which he had not been an executive. The continued success of the Rewiew is in great part due to his work on the advertising staff of which he has been manager for the last two years. Upon his departure the C.O.T.C., of which he is the senior lieutenant, will lose a valuable officer, while the student body will loose one of their ablest leaders; one who by his genial disposi- tion and straightforward manner has achieved genuine popularity. Truly Loyola will lay the blade of learning's knighthood upon worthy shoulders when Cuth Scott receives his degree. Debating Society, '23, 724, '25; C.O. T.C.

30 LOYOLA My life is one demd horrid grind. —Dickens. BASIL С. PLUNKETT. Тһе stu- dent body of Loyola College will suffer an irre- parable loss on the 8th of June through the departure of a dapper youth from Sarnia known to the world at large as Basil G. Plunkett. Basil came to Loyola from the Almonte High School in September, 1921, and has been very prominent in all college activities, social and otherwise. He has two pet idiosyncrasies—cultivating a mous- tache and concentrating on tennis. He possesses a keen sense of humour, which, in addition to his true Irish wit, has contributed largely to the great pop- ularity which he enjoys. While Basil has been with us for the short period of four years, he has manifested his sterling qualities in more ways than one. We are genuinely sorry to see this sin- cere and earnest student take his de- parture. Basil is one of the most forec- ful speakers in our Mock Parliament and is an amateur actor of no mean ability. We feel very confident that “Bas” will prosper іп whatever path of life he chooses to follow. He carries COLLEGE REVIEW “-- with him, іп leaving his Alma Mater, the sincerest good-wishes of each and every Loyola student. Advert. Staff, L.C.

Les belles actions cachées sont les plus estimables.— Pascal. GERARD PATENAUDE. This quiet, unassuming youth came to Loyola from St. Mary's College in September, 1924. During his short sojourn in our midst he has always shown a great interest in class, as well as college activities. “Раб” arrives at nine o'clock sharp іп the morning. Never before, very seldom after. Pat is noted for his ruddy com- plexion, engaging smile and for his ability as a lacrosse player. He is a steady worker and, in short, possesses many fine qualities. We are sorry to see him go and we regret that we did not know him sooner. He is one of thë savoir faire type, cool, calculating and imperturbable. He possesses an equanimity of temperament which combined with his resourcefulness will always stand him in good stead. Lacrosse, '25; Radio Club, '25.

о N LOYOLA COLLEGE REVIEW A New Venture in Music OYOLA has once again OO) made evident a realiz- fo) ation of her role in the (о) cause of Catholic edu- cation and in the service eee ed of the Church. For through her means the Justine Ward Method of teaching musichasbeenintro- duced into Montreal. This method is an educational movement of the highest value, evolved in order to make clear to the world and promote the ideas con- tained in Pius X’s far-famed Motu Proprio. Animated with the same laud- able purpose, the College authorities arranged for а normal course to be given at the convent of the Sacred Heart, St. Alexander St. The Directress was the Rev. Mother Stevens of the Pius X Insti- tute of Liturgical Music, New York City, while the demonstrations were made by a picked choir of seventeen young ladies of the same institution. The party was accompanied by Miss H. V. McGrath, Miss Agnes Amy, and Miss Emerson, all of whom assisted Mother Stevens in the demonstration of the method. The accompanist, Mr. Achille Bragers, a former student of Edgar Tinel in the Lemmens Institute, Brussels, showed himself a real master in the difficult art of accompanying in Gregorian music. About seventy persons attended the course, and all afterwards united in expressions of praise to Rev. Mother Stevens, and of gratitude to Rev. W. H. Hingston, S.J., Rector of the College, who brought the Schola to Montreal. The desire was expressed that the course should be repeated this summer, and arrangements are under way to put this into effect. The visiting choristers made their first public appearance here in St. Patrick's Lady Chapel before a highly appreciative audience. The following Sunday, they sang a Solemn High Mass, assisted by the senior choir of the College, composed of forty-five voices. The boys marched in procession from the sacristy, followed by the officiating clergy. The appearance of this red- robed choir in the sanctuary was, indeed, impressive, but more solemn still was the effect of the Mass sung in perfect Gregorian chant by this large group of young men alternating with the Pius X choir in the gallery. One felt that this was truly Church music, a music not detracting from, but rather enhancing the devotional feeling emanating from the ceremonial with which Mother Church has surrounded the most august Sacrifice of the Mass. The Loyola choir whose study of the Mass was confined to the five weeks that immediately preceeded its presen- tation, had looked forward to this, their first public appearance, with feelings of trepidation. The event, however, proved these fears to be groundless. Subsequent comments voiced nothing but whole-hearted praise. This suc- cessful demonstration of plain chant is due entirely to the devoted efforts of our music director, Rev. Father Senécal. On the evening of April twenty- second, a recital was given in the College Hall before Most Rev. Neil McNeil, D.D., Archbishop of Toronto, and Rt. Rev. Felix Couturier, D.D., . Bishop of Alexandria, and the members of the College Club. Every member . of the audience loudly applauded the young ladies’ exact rendering of difficult scales and intervals and their ready development of original themes in several parts. A repetition of the Mass was given at St. Michael's with no less success than at St. Patrick's. Everything considered, this new venture in musical education was an unqualified success, and we trust that a project so enthusiastically received will become an established fact. Francis J. MCNALLY, '26.
